Old Testament Tebow

Found an article on the Dr. Saturday College football blog. Written by Dan Shanoff.

For the most part, Tim Tebow's career has been defined by the same kind of "rah-rah" emotions he displays on the sidelines or activities he does in his down time or messages he sports on his eye-black: Throughout 2008, he wore Philippians 4:13, expressing strength through Christ; he made John 3:16 the No. 1 item in Google Trends after last January's national title game; for the season opener against Charleston Southern, he advertised Proverbs 3:5-6; and last week against Troy wore Mark 8:36, which asks, "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?"

The symbolism of the eye-black messages is reflected on the field: When Tebow throttles an opponent, it is done with a kind of earnest myopia -- it's not you, it's me! There are beat-downs, sure, but there's not a whole lot of good old-fashioned smiting going on.

And yet there is another side to Tebow. Sometimes you'll see it in clips inside the locker room, or TV camera shots of him going crazy on the sidelines (like that shot of him last year at Florida State, in a downpour, looking like William Wallace). Most notably, we saw it late in the national-title game against Oklahoma, when Tebow picked up an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty against Oklahoma, for doing the Gator Chomp in Oklahoma safety Nic Harris's face:

It was, arguably, Tebow's finest (and most human) moment: Get past the saintly-life stuff, and there's a taste of vindictiveness down there. Who can't relate to that?

That's the Tebow I like to refer to as "Old Testament Tebow" -- or "O.T. Tebow." (To be sure, there is violence in the New Testament. But for good ol' righteous vengeance, there's nothing like the O.T.) And it's the Tebow we should see Saturday against Tennessee, a game that calls for more than a little old-fashioned vengeance.

Live Blogging - Fourth Quarter.

Gator O

• Rainey for 'nother big run. What's his average now? 60-, 70- yards a carry?
• Rainey in between the tackles for no gain.
• Rainey outside the tackles for a big gain. See a pattern?
• TIPPED ball! Nothing happened, thankfully. Let's make a play here.
• FIELD GOAL MISSED. What the fuck? Maybe we should get the Troy kicker. No excuse for missing that.

Gator D

• 3 and punting. Watch for the fake.
  
• Hammond fucks up, almost majorly. I think you let that ball go, or if not, fall on it and stop with the risky shit. I think teams are going to be punting like this guy is (on the run) because it's been pretty effective against us today.

Gator O

• This Hines kid is a specimen, eh? He's a big dude.
  
• And as I say that Hines drops a pass.
• Fuck Kiffin. Lots.
• Holliday with a nice catch and Brantley with an even nicer throw. A laser.
  
• HINES with a nice catch and run. Kid's big. Scary to tackle big.
• Commetators talking about how stupid it is to poke the sleeping giant that is Florida. Also, about how much fun Urban and the boys are going to have bathing in Kiffin's blood after they cut off his head and put it on a stake in the middle of Turlington. Oh, wait a second: TOUCHDOWN GILLISLEE (SPELLING), THE FRESHMAN. Fuck bryce. It's all about Gillislee. I heard this kid is a coach favorite. Nice throw from Brantley who is making me feel better. That was a hard throw.
  

Kickoff

• Kicked itinto the hedges. Impressive. Maybe you can learn to do that between the posts for points.

Gator D

• NICE HIT by Lorenzo Edwards.
• Punt. Hammond with a nice return, but, there's a penalty. Special teams will be running like hell this weak.

Gator O

• Delay of Game. Penalty number 10 for 87 yards says the commentator.
• Cade Holliday, an ACR, with some nice grabs this quarter. I like this backup offense. They're looking sharp.
  
• Uh, what did Justin Williams just do? He just fell on his ass.
• Cade Holliday with yet another nice grab and juke. Passer was roughed. That's 15 yards.
  
• Commentator said that Brantley is the 3rd best QB in the SEC behind Tebow and Snead. Crompton, eh, not so much.
• FUMBLE by GILLISLEE, number 3 for the game.

Gator D

• Game over. It's time to prepare for the slaughter.

Go Prepare.
Go Gators.

Live Blogging - Third Quarter

Kickoff.

• BJ for a nice return. Either their coverage is good or we have bad blocking not. Probably the former.

Gator O

• Cooper is having a career day.
  
• Timbow getting numbers like it's his sophmore year. Glad to see Heisman back in.
• Line is getting a nice push on the line. Rainey is nasty.
• FUMBLE, Pouncey recover. Thank God.
• Wow. That's a pretty catch and throw. 32 yards of goodness. Think Timbow is coming out now which is good because I want to see what this Brantley kid is made of. His dad is/was a Gator ball player, right? Anyone with more info on this?

Troy O

• 3 and out. Punt

Gator O

• Timbow is back in! Yeefuckinghaw. Cooper is looking to kill someone.
• Omarius Hines is looking nice. Kid's a freshie, no?
• Rainey, too, is looking nice. This hurry up shit is killing me, smalls! You're killing me, smalls!
• Rainey is naaasty. Again.
  
• Rainey is nasty, yes, but I'll turn your attention to my post last season about Rainey and Demps being unable to run between the tackles. But, personal foul defense. Half the distance. Firsty.
• Jump pass again? Ah. Would've been nice to hit Hernandez in the corner.
• Rainey OUTSIDE OF THE TACKLES for a six pointer. Fuckin' A. For sure Timbow's out now.

Kickoff

• Uneventful, much like your sex life.

Troy O

• Harris for a short gain. Where's Spikes?
• Dunlap and Cunningham converge on the QB for a sack. Running a much tighter ship on Defense right now. Melikesmucho.
• Wow. Brandon James is amazing. Flag. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Wait? On them? No, fuck, fuck, fuck again.

Gators O

• Brantley on. Commentators tell us his old man was a QB (played for Kerwin Bell) and his uncle was a LB for the Gators.
• Brantley not as evasive as the Timbow. Punt team on.

Troy O (Otherwise known as Gators on D)

• Almost a nice pass. Almost, like your mother and that abortion.
• First down catch. Where's Spikes?
• First down catch.
  
• SACK - Marquis Anderson came in untouched and leveled the QB. I like the blitz call there.
• Willy Green with the quick hit in the backfield. Good to see the recruits making plays. WSG will educate you on him in the next Corner installment.
• Field goal time. Let's get another mitt on this motherfucker.
  
• Ok, so no. But, that's only two field goals (three in total) allowed for the season. D is looking nice. But where's Spikes?

Gator O

• Commentator says Timbow probably hates losing at checkers. Um, Timbow never loses. At anything. Ever. Unless it's a game where losing is winning, then He always loses.

Quater OVER.

Live Blogging - Second Quarter

Gator O

• Timbow keeps for a firsty.
• Timbow FUMBLES. Our second turnover and fumble.
  
• Fuck.

Troy O

• Pass interference o AJ. I thought you could face guard in college? Replay shows AJ hit him. This is getting serious.
• Where's Spikes?
• Third down. We need a big stop here. Let's do this. TIMEOUT TROY.
• Good stop (there's Spikes).
• Field goal: Fucked up snap. JANORIS with a nice play. Ok. This is what we need. This is what we need, gentlemen: some fucking intensity. Play like fucking champions.
  

Gator O

• "Balls are flying all over the place" said the commentator.
  
• Cara Capuano sucks.
• David Nelson FUMBLES (3) and luckily, he gained a yard in so doing. But still: HOLD ON TO THE FUCKING BALL. It's Troy. My God, Man.
• "A comedy of errors" said the commentator. Very true.
• Hernandez with a firsty. Timbow almost with a nice run.
• TOUCHDOWN. Nice, beautiful throw. A little overthrown, but that's how it needed to be. Riley, "I get the most and best ass on the team" Cooper secures more with that 36 yard grab. Kid's going to go play professional baseball too. Go be multi-talented. Go Gators.

Troy O

• This Harris guy is quick.
  
• 3 and out. James for no return.
  

This is looking better. Gator Rx says that he'd equate Troy with a middle-to-bottom half SEC team. Maybe. I might agree.

Gator O

• Brandon runs for 9. Timbow for another firsty.
  
• OMFG JEFF DEMPS IS FASTER THAN LIGHT.
• The Rain(ey) Man has genius moves. Like WSG says: An embarrassment of riches (like my balls).
• Timbow Touchdown. Approaching Herschel Walker's (recenly learned a good story about him.. but that's for a later time) SEC career total rushing touchdown record; he needs like one or two more I think.

Troy O

• JANORIS WITH A PIC. There we go, number one. Gators have 14 straight games with an interception, the longest active streak le world.
  

Gators O

• Long ball. THOMPSON TOUCHDOWN CATCH. So he does know how to catch the ball. Perfect pass. Three TD passes, one rushing for Timbow today. So far.
• Thompson LIMPS and is HELPED off field.

Troy O

• Harris with a run for a quick firsty.
• Dunlap gets his big monster mitt on the pass.
  
• Harris running all over us. Almost gets the firsty. Where's Spikes?
• 4th down and 1: Going for it.
• Nice try. Not happening. Cunningham with FUMBLE RECOVERY.

Gator O

• Timbow is made of titanium and testosterone. First down.
  
• OMFG DEMPS IS MADE OF LIGHTNING.

Kick off

• Nasty hit. Don't know what the penalty is for, but fuck it. Nice hit.

What's the story with Thompson?

Troy O

• Nothing happening so far.
• Harris again. But shy of the firsty by two.
• Fuck. That was a good punt. 'Tsokay. More stats.

Gator O

• Riley gives up on the route, doesn't matter cause it's a false start.
• Timbow decapitates a few for some breathing room.
• And some more for another firsty.
• BJ with a catch to reset the down counter.
• Cooper's catch moves the chains. Dude trucked the defender, got taken down, but still attempeted to inflict violent death.
• Cooper with a couple of more catches.
• What the fuck kind of clock management is that? Timbow's pissed. As he should be. I wonder if he'll be back in the second quarter.
  

HALFTIME.

Live Blog - 1st Quarter

• Cunninham and Janoris are gonna play. I want two pics, one to the house, and several sacks today. I want big, go fuck your mother plays today on defense.
  
• SEC Network chick is kinda whack. Such a plethora of hot ass in the SEC (see image above) and the best they could get is this chick? Come on, SEC, you're better than that.
• Florida wins toss and defers, Troy receives. Caleb "The Iceman" Sturgis kick, great coverage by the Gators.
• Dunlap almost comes down with nasty pic to the crib. Flag though. Fuck, offsides. Boo birds come out.
• Good pressure here, nice defense, forcing the punt-- down to the 30 something.
  
• Here comes Timmy, there goes Demps.
• So fast. No moves, just speed.
  
• FUMBLE! we got it, we're good.
• Deonte, what's your story? I thought you were a winner.
  
• Whoa. That's two. TWO fuck ups. Right in the chest. You're off the team. Cancel this motherfucker.
• Punt. Commercial. I hate Deonte.

• Back on. Nice run stop. Next play, quick slant in Haden's face. Almost a firsty.
• Nice hit on the QB by AJ Jones out of Tampa. Think they stopped him short of the firsty, nice ball placement though. Here come the chains, and here comes the punt team. Let's go BJ, it's fucking showtime. Get nasty.
  
• Fuck-- that was a block in the back. Penalty. 10 yards.
  

• Offense on. Shotgun, BJ motion to the backfield. Hand off to BJ, hit for a loss. Unimpressive.
• Tebow option keeper, Tebow hit for a loss. These Trojans are quick on the edges.
• Tebow shotgun, 5 receiver set, Tebow popped for while throwing. Incomplete to Cooper.
• Punt almost blocked. We look how I feel-- like shit.
• Commercial

• First down: Good run stop at the line.
• Second: FUMBLE!!!!! We got it. Jermaine forced it. Welcome back, Jermaine. Way to make an entrance.
• Is Janoris wearing number 1? J. Jenkins. I like it. A lot.
  

• First: Hernandez, the Puerto Rican manbeast with a nice grab. Would hurt to tackle this guy, badly.
• First: Tim with a nice keeper. Strong hit on him.
• Second: Shovel to Hernandez. Didn't work. Use to. Not this time. Let's go with a Timmy keeper.
• Third: Thompson redeems. For now. He still owes us two more.
• PAT good.

Anyone else notice the nasty new HD widescreen in the Swamp? Pretty gangster-- like myself.

• Troy on offense.
• First: Shotgun, splitbacks. Handoff runs for 4 yards into Dunlap where he's stopped and dropped.
• Second: Tipped. Tipped. Tipped. Dropped.
• Third: SACK - AJ Jones. Fuckin' A.
  
• Punt. Almost blocked. Fair catch. K

Okay, I will only blog the highlights. This is getting long (like my johnson).

• Moody FUMBLES. Did anyone even touch him? This is how you lose love with Urban. Thompson and Moody, both have bitched, moaned, whined, cried, and complained about not playing enough. And both fuck up. I love Moody, but this is not good. We need to score more points than this in the first quarter. Fumbles and turnovers in general fuck up rhythm and flow.

Troy on Offense

• Quick back. Quick QB. These Trojans are pretty good. Good call WSG and Bill on their quickness.
• Where's Spikes during all of this?
• QB sack-ish.
  
• Here comes the FG unit. It's a long one (that's what she said). It's good, which is bad. Fuck.

Gator O

• Nice Timmy keeper. I'm starting to feel like Tim's getting mad.
  
• Here's the hurry-up offense. Audible. Run. Nothing.
  

QUARTER ONE OVER.

WSG's CORNER

Welcome back to the Corner folks...it's been a looooong week, let's get to it. First, a few words about the Charleston Southern game:

In short, we kicked their ass, but that was a foregone conclusion. The real stories of that game run much deeper than the final score. We need to look between the lines and underneath the boxscores. Let's keep it simple by assessing (i) who's hot, (ii) who's not, (iii) who was a pleasant surprised and (iv) who sucked goat balls.

WHO'S HOT:

➤Riley Cooper: Blew up for 5 catches and 105 yards, but let's see him do it against Tennessee. He has a history or starting off well against inferior competition and then fading. Hopefully that won't happen this time, there aren't too many options after him so it better not.

➤Aaron Hernandez: The best offensive player on the field not named Tebow. Period. What is most impressive about him is what he does after the catch. On that 28-yd TD reception he got open, caught the ball, juked a few guys and then dragged some more into the end zone. He is sick and has first round NFL talent. We are going to lean on him heavily this year -- homeboy simply cannot get hurt.

➤Running backs: All looked good, but of course, we played against Our Lady of Lourdes Academy. Demps is the best of the three, he's got the right mix of blazing speed and toughness...and also has good hands. Moody was very impressive and might be the best pure runner of the crew. He's less likely to bust one (but that doesn't mean he can't) but also less likely to get hit for a loss. Conversely, there's a lot of boom or bust with Rainey. He is either making the flashy play or going down in the backfield. Anyways, one more observation on Rainey...he almost got caught in that long TD run...historically, he gets caught. For some reason, as fast as he is, he can't keep that top end speed over 40 yards. Unlike Demps who stays at top speed throughout -- although Mr. Rainey has more shake. I did notice though some very Percy-esque one step cuts at full speed by Demps...that is just so effectively devastating. No wasted motion just a little R2 and boom he's out!

WHO's NOT:

➤Defense: This is supposed to be the all-world best D ever and Charleston Southern goes for a ton of yards on us? This startled me a bit...but then I heard from Meyer that he only played 2 or 3 base defenses (i.e. no blitzes, no special packages, no different looks). And we did have 30% of our starters out (Janoris the "Taser" Jenkins, Lawrence "Marsh-mellow" Marsh and Jermaine "I wanna get high" Cunningham). So let's cut them some slack on week 1. Especially disappointing were Will Hill (please put Ahmad back in the starting lineup), Joe Haden (you're supposed to be a 1st round pick, I don't care what defenses were called, you don't let some no name from Charleston Southern beat you -- and it happened more than once) and Dunlap (zero sacks and no pressures against that kind of competition...let's get it together boys).

➤Receivers: The drops by Deonte and BJ were inexcusable. When we look back on this season and start calibrating stats those two TD drops might have cost Timmy the Heisman. I know it sounds ridiculous but it's true. More importantly, if that happens at LSU we have some real issues. They need to tighten up...I think they are both better than that and will show it as the year moves along. Also, can I get an APB out for David Nelson...wtf?

➤Caleb Sturgis: If you kick the ball out of bounds one more time during kickoffs I swear to got I am going to put my sambas on and kick you in the ass until it feels good.

PLEASANT SURPRISE:

➤Jonathan Bostic: That guy looks like he should be starting for the Steelers right now...talk about a prototypical NFL linebacker body. I predict that he'll be starting next year and might even get some significant time this year as we move along, especially if we incur some injuries. He led the team in tackles and looks like a real player.

➤ Adrian Bushell: This redshirt freshman CB is a baller...he has a little Janoris in him...keep an eye out in the future.

➤Omarius Hines: I thought the best freshman receiver of the bunch would be Frankie Hammond but he was upstaged by Omarius Hines. Omarius has been battling a leg injury that kept him out of spring practice but looks to be 100%. He is also jacked and I mean Bo Jackson jacked...find a picture of him and you'll see what I'm talking about. Odds are though that this was just a game 1 fluke and we'll hear little from him the rest of the way...I still expect Frankie Hammond to be at the head of the freshman class when it's all said and done.

SUCKED GOAT BALLS:

➤Deonte Thompson: I hate to beat a dead horse but you're supposed to be our #1 receiver and you come out of this game with zero catches and a colossal drop? You will have many, many more chances to make up for it and I hope you will. Otherwise we are in big trouble. Let's go Deonte...time to go baby!!!

UF vs. Troy

We should start off by saying that this is not going to be a complete walk in the park. This has been said before but it's true...Troy has a lot of talent...NFL talent (more highly rated prospects than most of the SEC by some accounts). And while they don't have the depth and overall talent level to keep up with us, they do have some playmakers that we should be wary off. They also bring with them a high powered passing game so the secondary better be ready. I am talking to you Joe Haden and Will Hill...let's go boys, you're better than that. To circle back on a prior point, Ahmad Black needs to be in the lineup. The Thrill looked a little bit lost out there and missed some tackles, something A. Black never does. Anyways, we need to get these guys off the field asap. None of this bend but don't break....let them drive and then we get a late stop or turnover crap. If we're going to be the dominant defense that everyone thinks we are...we need to stop people cold...3 and out...no BS. I want so see some sacks, some press coverage (no corners playing 10 yards off the ball) and some big hits and turnovers.

On offense, I want the boys to maintain the consistency in the running game that we showed last week. All the backs looked great and we need to keep that up. More importantly, lets air it out and let some of the starting WRs make some plays. Time to open up the playbook a little bit before Tennessee comes to town. That means some more option stuff, some deeper routes, more Hernandez...lets get it cracking. I want to keep Timmy in the pocket as much as possible too. He'll have plenty of times to run and make plays when we need him in SEC play but for now, I want him safe and slinging it for now. Putting forth nice game film for those NFL Scouts. Was it me or did he seem to have a little more zip in his throws last week? Also, let's keep an eye out for the Wilson/Patchan battle to start on the O-line. Wilson got the nod last week but Patchan will be hard to keep off the field.

Here's my message to the boys this week: Godspeed fellas, go out there and play your championship hearts out. Remember, you represent Florida...the orange, the blue and the fuck you!

On a side note: The Corner was impressed by both UM and FSU this past week. They look like they finally have some players, in particular Benjamin from UM and Fortson from FSU were very impressive. As were both QBs...but no one was as impressive as Greg Reid. Wow, it really hurts to lose that 5 start stud last minute. He was all gator from jump and went over to the Noles in a moment of weakness. Honestly though, probably a good decision for him as far as playing time, he wouldn't have started for us with the two all-american caliber corners we have. But he would have gotten significant playing time at the nickel and would be a starter next year. Some people just aren't into attending championship factories though.
